DCS is definitely the better feel sim. I was actually very ham-fisted with the DCS stick/rudder inputs.. but to no avail.

Here's an external view of Free flight over Poti (V124) where I show the control surface inputs.. and the P51 refuses to behave

All controls settings are Linear and 100% plus no 'fore'play

I successfully replicated the same maneuver both in DCS and IL2. Almost exactly the same behavior as in the video you linked. How far this is away from the real thing, I can not comment as I haven't flown one.

As for snap rolling - also nearly identical performance.

TBH, my controls are 100 in IL2, and fine tined with a slight exponential curve (Curvature = 15) in DCS on all 3 main control inputs (ailerons, elevators and rudder).
